We are writing this
for the ninety-seven percent
of founders
who are telling the truth.
When a startup commits fraud — and a few do, every year, loudly — the entire ecosystem catches the consequences. Diligence gets longer. Term sheets get slower. LPs get twitchier. Everyone pays for the bad actors.
This is the tax we all quietly agreed to. It's the reason your next round takes ninety days instead of nine. It's the reason your legal bill has a diligence line item the size of a small car. It's the reason your investor's quarterly check-in feels like a cross-examination instead of a conversation.
We think the tax is unfair. We think it's solvable. And we think the solution lives in a place software has not yet occupied.
The asymmetry
Here is a fact nobody disputes: the vast majority of founders are honest. They lose sleep over it. They over-disclose. They spend hours of their week answering questions whose answers have not changed since the last time they were asked.
And yet — when diligence time comes — the honest founder and the dishonest one are treated identically. Both face the same three-week paper trail. Both submit the same folder of exports. Both wait the same fourteen days for the forensic accountant to say "looks fine."
That's the asymmetry Corra exists to correct. Honest founders deserve a louder signal than dishonest ones. They deserve a way to prove the thing they've been saying all along, continuously, in a format anyone can verify in thirty seconds instead of thirty days.
"Trust is not a feeling. It's a continuously-verified claim."
What we refuse to build
We will not build a dashboard that makes you anxious. We will not sell your data, aggregate your data, or train a model on your data. We will not charge per seat, per investor, or per share. We will not become a gatekeeper that funds use to quietly disqualify founders who can't afford us.
If any of those things ever happens, we have failed our thesis, and we should be replaced.
What we do instead
We write software that watches the boring things and lets you get on with the loud ones. We sign the result cryptographically so that it's verifiable without us. We make sharing it one-click and revoking it one-click-back. We charge a flat fee that a bootstrapped founder can afford and a Series D founder doesn't notice.
We stay small. We ship slowly. We never over-promise. We let the signal speak for itself.
An invitation
If you're a founder who has nothing to hide and would quite like to stop having to prove it every six weeks — we built this for you.
If you're an investor who believes that good information compounds faster than bad information — we built this for you too.
If you're a regulator, or an auditor, or an accountant who has spent too long reconstructing truth from exports — we want to work with you.
Honest money should be easier than dishonest money.
That's the whole mission.
That's the whole product.
